after Sarah Gatley’s catflap

Spun seated panting
Lapping water
A short film of draught
collie sounds
for the Angelus

Oberon upon
the settle bed
on marine striped blankets
panting in the warmth
of the evening
to breathing easily
before sleep

backbone against backbone
with a duvet attached for me
grrr wow wow grrr wow wow
grr wow wow grr wow wow
hrumph
